Army Secretary Rescinds Leadership Offer to Former CISA Director Jen Easterly at West Point
Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has rescinded a leadership offer extended to former CISA director Jen Easterly at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, citing concerns over her past work on COVID-19 vaccine mandates and her involvement in the Biden administration's vaccine policies.
Army Secretary Dan Driscoll announced Wednesday that he had directed the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to rescind a leadership offer extended to former Biden appointee Jen Easterly. The decision comes after Easterly expressed concerns about the academy's handling of sensitive information during her time as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Easterly had accepted an offer to serve as the Superintendent of West Point, but subsequently withdrew from consideration due to these concerns. The move is seen as a major reversal for Easterly, who was widely expected to take on the role.
